4)So now that NL and The Tolkien Estate are in agreement that the films WILL be made--the TE is not fiiling an injuction to stop the films from being made--GDT was probably waiting on this news, this was the major stumbling block to the project going forward. He must have found out about this Saturday night. So now he is free to release all that pre-parepared video footage over the course of the coming week. NL, and Warner's are now busy preparing the paperwork for him to sign, sometime this week; that will make his involvement official. (this is the "4 or 5 days he was speaking of...he has to fly back to LA and go through the process of signing the paperwork or whatever it is he and his agents do.) This will take a few days. Think about it. can't just find all this out and rush out with and announcement within 2 days...especially not if he and PJ were planning a joint Announcment. They have to prepare this.

5) In the meantime, he is now free of course to release those carefully prepared tasty video tidbits he recorded, in case the news said it was a Go. And I expect, if the timeline IS a week, we may have many more to come. This is of course a treat to keep the fans entertained while they wait out the week, and there might be some spontaneous stuff! "add to each day of the week"

6)I still stand by my "beginning of the weekly news cycle/Monday" interpretation...we just got the wrong Monday. And GDT wouldn't release the Riddle or the vidoes of he anticipated a wait longer than a week. It would be too early. So a few days more!
